Yes, in true Anita style, I nearly missed the well anticipated Romans & Cartagenians fiesta… UUUhhh! What I hear you gasp… Yes, after I posted last time, we got all ready and dressed up, and just before stepping out to get to the car, rain pored down like there's no tomorrow. So we turned around and settled for a night of poker instead.
So, not one to be discouraged easily, I decided that next Saturday, Andre and I will attempt to attend the closing march instead.
Saturday came and for some reason I had 12am in my mind as the time we had to be in town for the start of the march. Long story short, it turned out that it was starting at 7pm… Now - even though it was already 9:30pm, we thought - there's no way we're not going to see it, grabbed our purses (man bag for Andre) and ran for it.
You'd be happy to know that we made it in time to see a good selection of legions and loved every minute of it!
And the reason I am telling you all this?
Very often people give up things they should really go for, thinking, "oh, I'll go next year", or "I can see that another time", or worse yet, "Agh, it's too late now anyway".
So I wanted to just get this message across to you:
Life's too short to leave opportunities on the table, thinking you can take them up another time. If something is important to you - go for it.
The worst that can happen is that you're too late… but then you lose nothing anyway. The best outcome however, will not only fill you with sense of achievement for taking the chance, but it will add happy memories, and knowledge to your persona!
The more you procrastinate the more you miss out on life. Even if it's just a mundane task you're putting off… think - if you do it, then you have free time to do something else - perhaps more enjoyable.
